STATE PRINTING OFFICE.
The Matter Argued Before the Legis.
 latiye Committee.

Last Wednesday a delegate from the New Haven Typographical Union appeared before the commit tee on appropriations, to whom the bill for the establishment of the State Printing Office was referred. and argued in favor of the bill. He urged that the State could save profits and dividends while paving good wages to the actual workers in State Printing office. In answer to the suggestion that the interest on an appropriation of $l0O, ,000 would be considerable, he said that the State was now paying interest indirectly to the contractors. As to competitor being means of getting State work done cheaply, he said that there was less competition among the Ladders than was usually assured, and pointed out the absurd ity of supposing that bidders would continue to cut each others threats for the mere pleasure of doing the State work; they were sufficiently alive to their own interests to avoid such competition.
 Representative IIunie of New Haven Is a member of the commit tee on appropriations, and was pres ent at the hearing. Representative King, who introduced the bill in the legislature was absent. The Hartford boss printers are all op- posed to the bill-of course. This shows how much competition re- duces their profits.

Alexander Troup Brought to Terms
 and Boiler Plates Abolished.

New Haven Typographical Union, No. 4, has succeeded at last in "persuading" Alexander Troup to keeD plates out of his paper, the UniOa. Other Irregularities on that paper will no doubt be settled soon. Mr. Troup is himself a member of the Typographical Union, and in days gone by was very noisy uniOn- ist, though it is evident that his unionism was only skin-deep. Bosses seldom make good union men-their interests are always in the fore. The latest on di is that Troup has taken revenge by discharging two men another proof of his unseltsh na- turp.

OUR STORMY DAYS
THE BATTLE FOR INDUSTRIAL
 FREEDOM RAGING.
New N0rk's Great Strike-May he Extended Government Owner ship Called f0r-The Lon.
 don Social. Democrats.
 Defeated Boobies.

Notwithstanding all the talk in- dulged in by the capitalistic sheets about the collapse of the great strike of 'longshoremcn in New York and Jersey City, the men still hold out against the bosses as we go to press. While there can be no doubt of the suffering caused by this gigantic struggle of impoverished working men against the bloated exploiters, there is q grim determination on the part of the strikers to fight it out. Latterly we hear of rumors of arbi- tration, but so far nothing has been accomplished. Many of the strikers have experienced the blessings of the arbitration salve, and are not over anxious to be plastered with it again.
 In Philadelphia the Reading coal handlers are awaiting orders to strike, and are ready to go out at moments notice. The Reading rail- road employs thousands of men, and does an immense business. A gen. eral strike along the line would be severely felt in Philadelphia. The president of the Reading road seems inclined to accede to the demands of the men should any be made.
 The Italians are being organized, and hundreds of them have left work. This cut off the scab sup- ply to some extent.
 In Boston the workingmen held great mass meeting Wednesday night in old Faneuil Hall. Master Work man Quinn of D. A. 49 and Victor Drury were among the speakers. Mr. Quinn denounced US newspaper lies any stories that the strikers were weakening, and said they would extend the strike over the whole country if necessary. A reso- lution calling for government owner ship of the coal mines was passed.
 While these scenes are being enacted on this side of the ocean, the English prolelariat is bestirring itself and giving strong evidence of an increasing spirit of revolt against capltalistic tyranny. Last Tuesday evening the Social-Democratic Fed eration arranged for q mass demon stratlon, which the frightened gov ernment prohibited. Hundreds of mounted police were ordered out, and tried to disperse the meeting, but were defeated and outwitted by the able leaders. From the highly colored captalistic cable reports one would suppose that the Social-Dem- ocrats were bowling mob. Noth- ing is further from the truth, and our readers shall have true report as soon as the mails from London ar rive.
 In Germany the Socialists are busy preparing for election. Bismarck is doing all he can to prevent an honest vote, and the meetings of workingmen are interfered with by armed police and soldlery. Never theless, the canvass progresses even under such difficulties, and we ex- pect to heal encouraging news from the welI-disciplined and courageous German Socialists.

Abstract this determination from the power of the rulers-let it be made on the principle of UwirwndeW investiga- ton, and let the rulers be the crecH- iol'S of the laws-and we have the first great practical reform that en- velopes the germ of all others, and that cannot fail ultimately to entail the best blessings of liberty and sc- curity. All the revolutions of the continent, from the day of the .jcH de Plume, down to the year lS49, have originated in nothing else than the false determination Of crime by the l0ir, and the power of the ruler, not merely to erecUfe laws, but to mohc. Mlcr, 0nd origjHate them.
 But, intimately connected with the theory of rri0'e, is the theory of uatuuW WoperW. The law assumed crime arbii,urily, and proceeded to punisA it. It assumed property or- biIrori1y and proceeded to protect it. The king who had the power to make or unmake crimes, had the power to dispose of the land that be- longed to the State. He sold ol gifted it, and thus, in the long run the whole of the lands of England, with some triHing exceptions, have been alienated from the nation, and the burden of taxation, has been placed upon the people.
 "Superstition-that IS, unbounded credence-was at the bottom of the kings right in both cases and the present inhabitants of the British islands are bound to observe the laws made in former times, concern ing crimes and property, just in sc far as those laws are now equitable, or would now be re-enactcd were there no laws on those subjects. The present possossor of a portion of land derives not one iota of preS- eNt riQhi, from the former gift of a defunct monarch; and his right, tc be nolr valid, must be such, that, were all his titles destroyed, the nation would proceed to place him in possession of the lands, because he, as an individual man, had an equii0ble claim to them.
 Just as, if all the laws and statutes of England were destroyed, the na- ton would proceed, as usual, to the arrest and punishment of the mur derer or robber-those crimes be ing punished, not because there arc laws for their punishment, but be cause it is jNI that they should bt punished.
 The juSiicc of the punshmon does in no case deriv fl0m Hc /a3r but the whole force and validity O the law derives from He jUfice of H' mui~hmcW. And where the punish ment is uOt juH, Nm paHiShmcM C q criUtc, whatsoever the law may be or whatever it may declare.

When there is no rocky stratum near

1t can hardly be otherwise, when it

but no more than they are actually
obliged to. The fine instinct of the ami

superior reason and judgment of man
triumphs over mere brute instinct.
The water from such a surface we'll

ways considerably above freezing.
The surface well can. of course. be
sunk at considerably less expense to the

principal investment is for a cheap

counts for the prevalence of these sur

plenty of good, wholesome water, of

this fact. Your cattle will fat if they

The Walking Graz, Prevai!in

The Crack walking Graz, Prevai.i:,:
Among DweIlers the National Capt.

There are several members of Congress
who have what is known as the crack
walking craze. Not one of these mer
would step upon a crack in a days walk
unless obliged to do so by the presence OF
a brick sidewalk. They viii walk from
the Capitol and go the entire length O!
Pennsylvania avenue, as far as the Treas
ury Department, and not step on a single
crack. There is a certain scientific man
here whose name is known all over the
world. Knowing him to be a crack-walk-
er. the Boston Telegram correspondent
asked him how the habit became fixed
upon him.
After being assured that his name
would not be given, he replied: Il have
had this crack-walking habit for twenty
years. In the first place, I started. Just
for fun, to see if 1 could avoid stepping on
a crack going a certain distance. 1 found
that l could, and l made up my mind to
keep it up for that day. As / had a GER
tain amount of walking to do, at first
this craze was a sort of pleasant diver
sion, then it became settled habit.
have tried to break it up time and time
again, but it has such a hold on me that l
presume | will remain a crack-w alker to
the end of my days. There is one peculi-
aritv about crack-walking and that is,
that if l should happen by accident to
step on crack, it would upset me for the
day Whenever l have done this always
90 back and step over the crack. I can't
tell why 1 do it, but do. Several times l
have made up my mind to go right ahead
and forget all about my misstep on my
way to the office, but l couldn't. / have
even sat here for two hours in a nervous
terror trying to overcome the feeling and
at the end put on my coat and hat and
walk down the street to step over the
hateful crack l know others that are as
badly afflicted as l am. They are all peo-
pie of highly nervous temperaments."

Is This So f.?

A few years ago a little book fell into
our hands, recounting the experience of a
certain prominent business man, from
which it appeared that, as with most
had broken his health. The doctor said he
could not live. He then stated that he used
a certain article which effectually cured
him. and tout of gratitude for his own re-
covery he determined to devote portion
OF his fortune to spreading its merits be-
fore the world"
AS we read it we said: ''This is evil
IDENTIFY shrewd expression of a CONNER
cial motive; it sounds well; it reads we'll;
but many people will not believe it,
In a few years, however, that man got
famous tbs world over. He gave several
hundred thousand dollars to astronomical
research, and his name became a house
hold word in nearly every home in the
United States.
Hundreds of thousands of people to-day,
without reservation, say that to this man
alone they owe their lives.
If ten men are collected together the
chances are that if one man accidentally
refers to Warmers safe cure seven of them
will be able to tell, from their own expert
ence or from the experience of their
friends, of marvellous results Which that
remedy has wrought.
Nothing has ever been put on the market,
we are told, the sale of which has been so
great and kept up so wonderfully, and this
alone is evidence that merit is at the bot
tom of its popularity.
In our files we find many an advertise
ment from this house. Some people have
believed, have used and have been cured !;
others have disbelieved, have not used, and
died.
The manufacturers have stated, as the
result of their most careful Investigations,
that the condition OF the kidneys is the key
to health. and that they know if the kid
neys are maintained in health by Warmers
safe cure, ninety-three per cent of diseases
would disappear.
The uric acid, or waste of the system,
left in the blood, by what may be called
constipated kidneys. blocks up the system
and carries disease to every organ.
This statement, made time and time
again, is SO full Of sense that it is now ac-
cepted as scientific truth by insurance
companies who reject millions of risks
every year if there is the least inactivity of
these organs.
The public is tired of the wrangles of
this school and of that school, and it is
quick to recognize anything that has such
conceded merit, and on this ground alone
can we account for it's extraordinary sales
and popularity.
